Flying Dutchmen Travel announces Country Cruising’s seventh festival-at-sea adventure, departing April 11 through 18, 2027 from Tampa, Florida aboard the Celebrity Summit. The seven-night voyage visits Western Caribbean ports including Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya with a lineup featuring Randy Travis and his More Life Tour, Craig Morgan, Paul Overstreet, and James Dupre, alongside returning artists Whey Jennings, Dirty Grass Soul, and Chad Bushnell. The More Life Tour features lead vocalist James Dupre performing classic hits from Travis’ iconic career with his original touring band while the seven-time GRAMMY winner appears onstage with his wife Mary, interacting with fans as he is unable to sing due to aphasia from his 2013 stroke. The tour played over 50 venues to 60,000 fans last year and returns this spring for a limited run.
Craig Morgan brings more than 2.5 billion career streams and over 25 songs on the Billboard charts to the voyage, including hits “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Almost Home,” “Soldier,” and “That’s What I Love About Sunday.” The 2008 Grand Ole Opry inductee served seventeen years in the Army and Army Reserve and enlisted again in 2023, continuing his military career as a Chief Warrant Officer 2 while supporting active duty and veteran members through Operation Finally Home and the USO. Paul Overstreet headlines Country Cruising’s Songwriters Rounds featuring fellow artists alongside his hit songs “When You Say Nothing At All,” “Forever and Ever, Amen,” and “Deeper Than The Holler.” The two-time GRAMMY winner and NSAI Songwriter’s Hall of Famer released his latest single “Doin’ It to Country Songs” last month to Texas Radio.
James Dupre performs his own sets onboard including favorites from recent solo projects ‘It’s All Happening’ and ‘Perfect Time’. The season nine contestant on NBC’s The Voice and Rolling Stone “Country Artist You Need To Know” tours the nation as recurrent lead vocalist with Randy Travis’ More Life Tour. Last year’s cruise sailed from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau featuring onboard activities including rum tastings, poker tournaments, live podcasts, and line dancing, with shore excursions offering food tours, dolphin watches, ecological adventures, and snorkeling. Emceed by award-winning radio broadcaster Storme Warren, the ship hosted 2,000 country music fans of all ages.
